Different colors, and the corners are rounded in Meta's logo. Far from a striking similarity, if you ask me. -- Shawn K. Quinn <skquinn@rushpost.com> http://www.rantroulette.com http://www.skqrecordquest.com
"Meta, formerly Facebook, filed eight trademark applications on Friday for its logo to cover a wide range of digital purposes, including cryptocurrency tokens, wallets, and exchanges. Among the eight trademark filings, six explicitly refer to cryptocurrency and blockchain-based technologies. (The filings can be viewed by searching the serial numbers on the Patent and Trademark Office website.)" https://decrypt.co/95827/meta-files-trademarks-for-crypto-tokens-wallets-exc... If Meta's logo is more or less a copy of the Moscow Stock Exchange logo, that USPTO application should be immediately denied, logically.

It may be helpful to consider Meta (FB) stock ownership data as of July 24, 2021.
From xNY.io's perspective, we will not sponsor Meta's logo on anything crypto related, given the similarities to the Moscow Stock Exchange logo.

By the way, interesting to point out that Harvard Management Company's fourth largest holding is Meta, (FB), accounting for 11.75% of the Harvard Management Company portfolio: https://whalewisdom.com/filer/harvard-management-co-inc#tabholdings_tab_link Whatever the case may be, it is not xNY.io's fault that Meta's logo basically is a replica of the Moscow Stock Exchange logo. With all the money on the planet, this is probably one of the worst branding decisions of modern time. Again, not xNY.io's problem ...
